3.5MM to 3 RCA Cable ，Video AV Component Adapter Cable Replacement for TCL TV, 3 RCA to AV Input Adapter - 23CM/9in

TLDR: This adapter might not work if your Roku TV is still on a firmware version below 11.5.0, so make sure to update. I purchased a TCL 43S455 and a TCL 32S327 in November 2022. Both came with fairly old firmware out of the box (9.x.x, when the current firmware was 11.x.x). I purchased two of these adapters; one for each television. I used a Nintendo 64 and a DVD player, both known to work correctly, to test each adapter on each new television. None of the combinations worked no matter what I did -- no audio, no sound, nothing. Next, I performed a manual update of the TCL 32S327, which involved downloading the firmware from Roku's website, putting it on a USB drive, plugging that into the TV's USB port, and performing the update (which only took it to 11.0.0). The 32S327 still didn't see the adapter or any signal from either device. (I couldn't do a manual update for the 43S455 at all, because Roku's tool doesn't even acknowledge that this model exists, and the firmware installation fails as a result. Roku blames TCL for this, and TCL blames Roku. Neither company seems to be able to solve the problem, though TCL is at least *sort of* trying.) Next, I decided to connect the 32S327 to the internet via the mobile hotspot on my phone (so that the TV doesn't ever have the network name or password to my home wifi network). Lo and behold, there's a firmware update available (11.0.0 > 11.5.0) and after that finishes installing, the AV input adapter works perfectly. My Nintendo 64 and DVDs showed up exactly as expected. That 11.5.0 firmware update was NOT available through the Roku website; it ONLY showed up when I connected the television to wifi, which I didn't want to do in the first place. Thankfully, I then performed a factory reset to get rid of all the extra crap that gets irreversibly changed when you log the TV into a Roku account (which you are forced to do, with no way out), and the firmware stayed at 11.5.0 even after the factory reset. I'll probably wind up doing the same thing to the 43S455 if TCL and Roku can't get their crap together and fix the underlying problem. Prior to this last step, I had sent the seller of this adapter a question through the "Ask the seller a question" tool on the Amazon Orders page, to see if they had any advice. They responded quickly, which I appreciate. Normally I give 5-star reviews only when a product is truly excellent, but in this case, I am giving 5 stars because the product performs exactly as expected and because the seller is highly responsive and willing to assist.

For whatever reason why TV manufacturers stopped making rca / composite inputs into HDTVs, this y connector is essential and works great. My accessory is a VCR I needed to connect to a new FHD TV. I tested a video tape and the a/v playback is great.

I was able to get this to work on my SONY TV to play my Nintendo 64. Just had to switch the cables around. Yellow to white / red to yellow / white to red. I’ll add pics to help anyone else trying to use this item on a SONY tv.

This is a typical cable of this type. It does NOT work in Hiscense TVs. The hidden effects connector is a proprietary that is longer than the standard ones.

Works perfectly in TCL Roku 43" 4K TVs for the past 5 or 6 years (I have 3 TCLs). As others have stated, it does not work with a Hisense TV. I wonder that the Hisense jack is the same as Sony and/or Samsung which have been said to be different than TCL. It is incredible that TCL did not include this adapter cable with every TV. If one gets an adapter cable that does *not* specify TCL compatible but only a 3.5mm jack to 3 RCA, as I did, they are faced with having to search forums to finally figure out what is going on with A/V connections on newer TVs. Why did the industry have go away from the 3 RCA jack connections to create this mess? Now with this old A/V connection instead of HDMI, I can get CC (Closed Captions) on certain DVD titles. Now I don't have to be so dependent on streaming for CC.

These cables work great! The only thing is they don’t match up to regular rca cables. I had to go red to white yellow to white and red to yellow. I connected this to a Sony Handycam Digital 8. Using the cables I was able to display the cam corder to the tv.

I tried this out on my Hisense TV and there was no output, I can't speak for TCL TVs but if you have a Hisense, steer clear of this

Works perfect with a Raspberry Pi 4B There are some different "standards" for what connector color is what... For the PI, yellow is the video output.

Very good product

Didn't work when connected to my TCL TV, which is what I bought it for. But it does connect to my projector. so I still have some use for it and won't need to return it.

Buen producto y funcional.

Ok

I thought I was ordering one, but amazingly there were six in the package. So excellent value for money.
